Abstract: Fast rolling block (10) employed in a compact rolling line for long products such as bars, round bars, wire rod and analogous products, the fast rolling block (10) comprising rolling mill stands (11) arranged in sequence with pairs of rolls (13) having alternate axes and installed alternately opposite to each other on a base (14), the base (14) comprising at least one horizontal base plate (15) extending parallel to the horizontal plane containing the rolling axis (12) and comprising also transverse plate elements (17) spaced apart and bearing on their upper edge (20) elements (19) for installation of the rolling mill stands (11), there being included longitudinal connecting elements (16), each transverse plate element (17) having a minimum width ("L") equal to 70% of the width of the horizontal base plate (15), the longitudinal connecting elements (16) extending between one transverse plate element (17) and the adjacent one.
Abstract: Unit (10) to feed and stack layer of sections, which is located downstream of a layer-forming platform (11) and upstream of a packaging assembly (32), the layer-forming platform (11) comprising a plurality of conveyors (29), the unit (10) consisting of a plurality of first manipulator arms (40) and a plurality of second manipulator arms (41) able to rotate about an axis (42) parallel to the lengthwise axis of the sections to be packaged, the manipulator arms (40-41) bearing layer manipulators (35-36) able to move lengthwise along the manipulator arms (40-41) in the transient state of rotation of the movable manipulator arms (40-41), the layer manipulators (35-36) having an engagement position (45) arranged substantially at the front of and external to their relative manipulator arms (40-41).
